Replying to: killerbunny (Apr 07, 2007 5:46 am) Let's say, Sonata is 5%~10% cheaper than Camry. Let Genesis be 5%~10% cheaper than the V8 RWD Toyota (LS460), subtract another 10% for not using an up-market brand name. That will still be at least $50,000 for the starting MSRP. 1) It's not meant to compete with the Camry. As noted, the Sonata is. 2) The BH (codename, no official name has been given yet) will likely start under $30K in the US, with the V8 version estimated at low-to-mid 30s range. 3) Feature-wise, what you see is what you get. I've been told everything listed in the PR would be available on the production model next year (e.g. Nav, Xenon). Also, Hyundai will likely become to first non-luxury nameplate to offer HD radio. 4) Good news for the power fans - the V8 will put out a lot more than 300 horses, Hyundai has always estimated conservatively. Upwards of 340 or more is possibly a slightly precise estimate. 5) Few changes in the front and the rear, otherwise, this is the car coming to the showroom next year. 6) MSRP and comparably speaking, the Sonata is a good 10%-20% cheaper, depending on trims, packages and options. |

If the Genesis is supposed to start "well under" $30k (V6 version), what happens to Axera? Is this Azera's replacement? If the V6 Genesis is in the high $20's, the V8 would be $5-7k more? Around 33-35k? I don't have a problem with Hyundai building a luxury marque. If they are meeting/exceeding sales goals for the former XG350/Azera, then go for it. Genesis is a better name for a company than a car. They will DEFINITELY need another vehicle to start a marque with. I'd build a coupe. Personally, I'd get people comfortable with considering Hyundai as a 1st-rate full-line marque, which most people haven't realized yet. I don't see what the rush is?  But now might be the time to pounce! Acura continues to struggle, and Infiniti is working on a very slow upswing. Lincoln is all but dead. Audi isn't setting the world on fire, after countless opportunities. I think they're getting ahead of themselves, and should wait until the Fall of 2010, at the earliest. And I agree, producing a couple of studly models for the NAIAS, and announcing in the Fall a new brand will emerge is definitely the way to do this, as Lexus did. If Lexus writes a book, you should tear out a page or two, no?  DrFill
